Have you ever lied in your bed in the middle of the night annoyed, angry just repeating the same thing over and over to yourself? Justifying it more and more, digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole. “I will show them tomorrow morning! HOW COULD THEY COME UP WITH THAT?! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!”Continue reading “The practical case for meditation”

Is happiness better than the absence of unhappiness?
Do you want to feel happy or would you prefer not to feel unhappy? The western world is running away from unhappiness and suffering. We don’t talk about it, we don’t accept it, and any expression of it will make us look odd. It has been amazing that it is changing but there is stillContinue reading “Is happiness better than the absence of unhappiness?”
Mindfulness as a supplement for our minds
It seems like it has been quite a few years since the fitness and health world has been overflown by supplements. We get everything from electrolytes, vitamins, dry offals, and 20 types of grass in one pill. More omega-3, less omega-6. Pre-workouts, post-workouts, mid-workouts. Surprisingly, one constant in that world is creatine. If we takeContinue reading “Mindfulness as a supplement for our minds”
How does it feel in your head?
For a lot of us it’s not a great place. Being on your own, you go trough a lot and it’s boredom in the good case. How does it feel to be on your own? It’s strange to be your own nemesis. It’s strange to set yourself to fail. Time after time. No learning, justContinue reading “How does it feel in your head?”
Organisational transformation – how to save big bucks in one simple step
If you are one of the none CEOs who read my blog, you are immediately hooked. “What is this magic step?! Hope it is better than those three magic beans I bought last year! … Maybe I shouldn’t have bought them refried…” If that is your chain of thought, you are exactly in the rightContinue reading “Organisational transformation – how to save big bucks in one simple step”
Decisions, decisions, decisions…
To decide or not to decide. That is the question. If there is no free will, do decisions exist? After this deep start, we are going back to the topic and that is making decisions. Originally, this thought started with me getting flustered by tech articles and I was wondering what it was that rubbedContinue reading “Decisions, decisions, decisions…”
Applying system engineering to organisational structure, part 1 (aka possibly a relatable situation)
Two years ago I had a problem. I had an unused bank account with zero balance, where I didn’t even have access anymore, while the bank was charging me a monthly fee. Naturally, I’ve found their client services phone number, called and wanted to close the account. Originally, I thought it would be easy. TwoContinue reading “Applying system engineering to organisational structure, part 1 (aka possibly a relatable situation)”
FIRE movement – real people, real interviews
For those who don’t know this acronym but yet still found this post. FIRE is Financial Independence, Retire Early. Yes, that’s right. You can retire when you are 30 and live your dream life of sitting on a beach in the Caribbean, being server Pina Coladas all day and just getting fatter and fatter. ForContinue reading “FIRE movement – real people, real interviews”
One year since the first post
Few things I have learned. I thought I hated writing, I was never good at any language grammar and my last bigger piece was my master thesis, which was a bit more painful to write. In reality, I don’t hate it. I quite like it, even though I’m not particularly good at it. A lotContinue reading “One year since the first post”
Rephrase a problem to solve it. Or not.
I was listening to a podcast talking about steps to financial independence. “Step #1: Create a plan how to become top 20% in your field.” I stopped listening after that sentence, so I might be speaking out of my turn here. However, it is pretty much “How to become financially independent” = “Get millionaire generatingContinue reading “Rephrase a problem to solve it. Or not.”
